Hasn't knowledge only crippled me from seeing truth? Is knowledge itself illusory?

Knowledge about yourself binds, weighs, ties you down; there is no freedom to move, and you act and move within the limits of thatknowledge. Learning about yourself is never the same as accumulating knowledge about yourself. Learning is active present and knowledge is the past; if you are learning to accumulate, it ceases to be learning; knowledge is static, more can be added to it or taken away from it, but learning is active, nothing can be added or taken away from it for there is no accumulation at any time.

Can I reject everything my brain experienced? Is intellectual understanding any understanding at all?

You cannot explain to someone who comes with no idea of what you are talking about without being misunderstood.

If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.

You may be reborn a thousand times, but you can never know the real, for only that which dies, that which comes to an end, can renew itself.

Adhere to the Truth rather than to the personality, and take to heart the Truth rather than the authority of another.
